Free Web NovelOnly one day had passed in the outside world looking at the jiangshan sheji map, but two years had gone by in Human City since Li Mo returned to Mo City.
In a restaurant in Earth City.
Bang—
A gavel sounded from the roadside restaurant, and the bustling hall, filled with clinking cups, fell silent.
The middle-aged man, wearing a gray-blue long gown and a melon-skin cap, bowed to the crowd below:
“With the next natural disaster approaching, our Human City will once again face a life-or-death situation. However, heroes emerge in troubled times, and young heroes, at that. I have traveled far and wide, and so, shamelessly, I will recount some of the most notable figures for everyone.”
“Of course, everything I say is what I’ve heard, or perhaps mixed with my own guesses. Please listen to it as you will, and grant me a living.”
“Speaking of heroes, one cannot help but mention that young hero from Mo City, who became sworn brothers with Sword Sect’s Dong Changtian, is skilled in both hammer and sword, and has countless demon and monster souls on his hands.”
“Recently, he cleared out the demonic hordes of the Stubborn Stone clan in the Barren Wildlands.”
“...”
As soon as the recent events in Mo City and the rising young hero were mentioned, everyone’s spirits lifted.
It wasn’t just the people on the first floor who were interested; the storyteller’s voice echoed up through the atrium to the private rooms on the second floor.
Several Heavenly Immortals were seated there.
“Mortals have short lifespans, yet they can create such delicious food.”
Feng Zhi held a lamb leg, eating with great relish, her cheeks moving.
“I actually find the vibrant atmosphere of the Mortal World to be more lively and bustling than Heaven City.”
Chun Mang was a legally loli in a green dress, naturally lively and uninhibited. Among the many Heavenly Immortals, her relationship with Feng Zhi was the best.
“I just heard Li Mo’s name.”
Lei Ze’s voice was magnetic as he spoke: “I wonder how his task is progressing?”
Ever since Li Mo went undercover, Feng Zhi had said that all his matters only needed to be reported to her.
So, the other Heavenly Immortals didn’t know the specific progress.
Hmm.
Feng Zhi didn’t know either.
She had just been talking nonsense at the time. Now, being asked, she remained silent for a moment, then, with a cool expression, raised the lamb leg and said profoundly:
“You just listen.”
Yan Rong rumbled: “It seems Feng Zhi has great confidence in the person she chose. Let us listen attentively.”
Below, the discussions among the crowd continued.
“Mo City’s influence has been growing recently.”
“Indeed, it must be said that the Sword Sect had foresight, a Wisdom Eye for heroes, and promoted Li Mo without conventional restrictions. To dispel everyone’s doubts, they even became sworn brothers with him.”
“Facts prove his vision was correct. Li Mo has now slain countless demons and monsters, and his swordsmanship is extraordinary, striking fear into the hearts of demons.”
“Who would have thought that he, who was not chosen by the Heavenly Immortal clan of Heaven City and ran away from home, would achieve such extraordinary feats?”
Xiao Li’s prestige among the Executioners is now incredibly high.
89-0, his record is verifiable.
“I just heard someone say that Li Mo’s swordsmanship is exceptional, which is true, but to consider that his greatest reliance would be a grave mistake.”
At this moment, the middle-aged storyteller spoke again.
“I heard that Li Shaoxia’s sword light chills fourteen states, and he’s also brothers with Sword Sect Master Dong, so isn’t his swordsmanship his strongest asset?”
Someone asked, confused.
Others also showed curiosity, as few people had actually met Li Mo, or even left Earth City.
“His swordsmanship is indeed extremely strong, reaching the point where he has no sword in hand, but a sword in his heart. However, what is truly unfathomable is his hammer!”
“It’s just that Li Shaoxia has a youthful Heart-Nature. Every time he performs a heroic deed, he tells the people he saves that he is a Sword Hero.”
“For example, a month ago, when he killed a mountain demon, he shouted sword incantations and smashed the demon, who tried to parry with bare hands, into a bloody pulp with a hammer. Uh... I don’t know what kind of obsession he has.”
“How do you know so much?”
Someone looked at the middle-aged man with suspicion.
After all, the well-known Great Sword Hero suddenly becoming a hammer-wielder was hard to accept at first.
You know, Li Mo’s nickname is Liqun Sword Hero!
“Because he saved me that day.”
The middle-aged man pointed to his own eyes, meaning he had seen it with his own eyes.
Everyone: “...”
If you’re lying, then you’re quite brave to spread such rumors.
If what you say is true... then you’re too bold to even speak the truth.
Is this something that can be said?
“I can testify that Li Shaoxia was once the son of the Li family of Earth City. I saw him strike with a hammer that day, shaking heaven and earth.”
“So, it’s true?”
“It’s regrettable. Such a person didn’t receive a Heavenly Immortal Legacy and instead went to Human City...”
“There’s no need to feel sorry for him. Sword Sect Master Dong is getting on in years. By then, he might become the Lord of Mo City.”
“Speaking of which, Li Mo... Mo City... could it be fate?”
Upstairs.
The private room, where a group of Heavenly Immortals sat, fell silent. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“He did so many big things? It sounds like fun...” Chun Mang blinked, looking very interested.
“He’s doing well, it seems our decision back then was correct.”
Even the usually serious Lei Ze’s lips curved slightly: “The future leader of Mo City is our man. How can we not achieve unity between Heaven and Mortal?”
“If we reclaim Human City, Feng Zhi should take the most credit,” Yan Rong also said with a smile.
“...”
Feng Zhi felt thirsty and drank two sips of tea blankly.
The joys and sorrows of Heavenly Immortals are not interconnected; she only found the others noisy.
It’s only been two years.
He’s about to become the boss?
It doesn’t seem wrong. Li Mo was originally the boss there; now he’s just returning to his original position, nothing unreasonable.
But... how can a boss go undercover in his own territory!
Now, Feng Zhi didn’t know what to do. She could only calmly pick up another lamb leg.
Let’s eat first.
She could only hope that the situation wouldn’t develop further. One lie now required more and more lies to cover it... But soon, Jiang Yu somehow learned of this and gave her a mission.
“I’ve heard about your man’s deeds in Human City. Well done.”
“Since that’s the case, it’s time for him to be put to use.”
“The demons in Human City have been mostly cleared out, and it’s time for reconstruction. Let him assist us in reclaiming Human City.”
...Meanwhile, in Mo City.
“Achoo, who’s thinking of me?”
Li Mo sneezed, his expression becoming alert. He heard that recently someone in Human City was ruining his reputation.
He was clearly a Sword Hero. What hammer, no hammer?
Who exactly was speaking such blunt truths? He hoped he wouldn’t catch them.
“Great-grandson, help me inquire about it,” he said to Dong Ge Yu.
“I’m exhausted. I just got back from outside. The Materials from the demons haven’t been processed yet. I’m not going.”
Dong Ge Yu’s forehead twitched: “Who’s your great-grandson? You don’t even have a son, where would you get a grandson?”
After saying that, she left.
Li Mo shook his head and entered the temporary blacksmith shop. He didn’t know why the Heavenly Immortal sister’s home would be a blacksmith shop.
But that wasn’t important.
Because as soon as he entered, he saw her sitting under a tree, sewing clothes, looking completely like a Fairy of the Mortal World unwilling to return to the Immortal Realm.
“Eh? Whose Fairy sister is so beautiful? I ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) didn’t come to the wrong place, did I?”
“Yours, you didn’t come to the wrong place.”
